About the Event 

The Anton Art Center hosts an annual spectacular party

featuring a 'Taste of Macomb County' strolling dinner

​

Presented by First State Bank, this year's ArtParty

'A Starry Night' fundraiser took place on

September 19th from 6pm to 9pm.
The event featured a variety of entertainment

options, including live music, art demonstrations, and hands-on art experiences

which showcase the work the Anton does across Macomb County.

 

ArtParty guests strolled the venue sampling appetizers, desserts, refreshments and more, while enjoying music as they mingle and dance the night away. Our galleries and Art Market remained open during the event for guests to view current exhibitions and get a look inside our historic building.

 

This year’s ArtParty featured live entertainment, 50/50 raffle, gift basket raffle, live art demonstrations and interactive activities, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the impact of the arts in Macomb County! The Anton Art Center's ArtParty event is a highly anticipated evening of food, entertainment, and art where people can celebrate and mingle while enjoying the value that art has in our lives. The event draws supporters of the Anton Art Center, community members, and civic leaders from across Macomb County. Proceeds from the event support the Anton Art Center's programs. Tickets for the ArtParty event are available for purchase each year in August.

​

Art plays an important role in our communities by enriching people's lives, promoting creativity and self-expression, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation, and enhancing community development. Studies have shown that engagement in the arts can have positive effects on mental health, cognitive development, and overall wellbeing. Art can also be a powerful tool for social

change, as it allows individuals and communities to explore important issues and

express themselves in new and meaningful ways.

 

Additionally, the arts have been shown to have a positive impact on local economies

by attracting tourists, creating jobs, and supporting small businesses. The Anton Art

Center's ArtParty event not only provides a fun and engaging way for people to support

the arts, but also helps to raise awareness of the important role that art plays

in our communities.
